Overview

The DMG Mori CTX gamma 3000 TC is the largest machine in the CTX TC turn-mill lineup, purpose-built for massive shaft and cylindrical components up to 3,050 mm (120.1 in) in length. When your parts are too long for a CTX gamma 2000 TC, this is where you go. It is a serious capital asset designed for heavy industry, energy, aerospace, and defense applications where long, complex parts need done-in-one processing.

The main spindle is an ISM 102 integrated motor spindle delivering 52 kW (70 hp) at 3,500 RPM with 1,550 Nm of torque through a 15-inch chuck. Bar capacity is 127 mm (5 in). The optional sub-spindle provides 45 kW (60 hp) at 4,000 RPM for backworking. These are serious power numbers designed for deep roughing cuts in tough steels, superalloys, and titanium.

The compactMASTER turn-mill spindle runs at 12,000 RPM with 36 kW (48 hp) and 220 Nm of torque through an HSK-A63 interface, with 20,000 RPM optional. The B-axis swivels through 240 degrees via Direct Drive Motor. Axis travels are substantial: 880 mm (34.6 in) in X, 420 mm (16.5 in) in Y (plus/minus 210 mm), and 3,100 mm (122 in) in Z. Maximum turning diameter is 700 mm (27.6 in). Rapid traverse hits 50 m/min with optional 60 m/min Z-axis linear drive.

The standard disc magazine holds 36 tools, expandable to 80, 120, or 180 via chain magazine. An optional lower turret adds parallel processing. Control is CELOS with Siemens SINUMERIK 840D sl on a mineral-cast bed. The machine weighs approximately 30,000 kg (66,138 lb). Pricing starts around $950,000 and can exceed $1,400,000.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

3,050 mm turning length handles shaft-class components that no other CTX model can accommodate, covering landing gear struts, large turbine shafts, and heavy industrial rolls
52 kW main spindle with 1,550 Nm torque delivers the brute force needed for deep roughing cuts in large-diameter superalloys and hardened steels
36 kW compactMASTER milling spindle at 220 Nm provides genuine heavy milling capability, not token milling on a large turning platform
Mineral-cast bed delivers 6-8x better vibration damping than cast iron, critical for surface finish on large, long workpieces prone to chatter
420 mm Y-axis travel provides the widest off-center reach in the CTX lineup for complex milled features on large-diameter parts
127 mm (5 in) bar capacity handles substantial bar stock for production work on the larger end of the spectrum
Tool magazine expandable to 180 stations supports unattended processing of complex large parts with deep tool libraries

Limitations

Starting near $1 million, this machine demands exceptional part values and utilization rates to justify the capital investment
At 30,000 kg, foundation requirements are substantial and rigging costs can run $30,000-$50,000
6,500 x 3,200 mm floor space means this machine needs a dedicated cell with adequate crane access
3,500 RPM main spindle speed is the lowest in the CTX TC lineup, trading speed for torque
Service and maintenance costs for gamma-class machines are premium; expect $15,000-$25,000 annually

Best For

Aerospace manufacturers producing landing gear struts, large turbine shafts, and structural components over 2 meters in length Energy sector shops machining large generator shafts, turbine rotors, and pump components needing turning and milling in one setup Oil and gas manufacturers producing drill collars, large valve assemblies, and downhole components with complex turned and milled features Defense contractors machining gun barrels, artillery tubes, and other long cylindrical components with tight tolerances Heavy industrial equipment manufacturers producing large rolls, spindles, and shafts requiring 6-sided complete machining

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What does a DMG Mori CTX gamma 3000 TC cost?

A new CTX gamma 3000 TC starts around $950,000. Fully loaded with 20,000 RPM milling spindle, linear Z-axis drive, 180-tool chain magazine, sub-spindle, lower turret, and automation can push to $1,200,000-$1,400,000.

02 What is the difference between the CTX gamma 3000 TC and the CTX gamma 2000 TC?

The 3000 TC extends turning length from 2,000 mm to 3,050 mm and Z-axis travel from 2,050 mm to 3,100 mm. The main spindle is more powerful (52 kW / 1,550 Nm vs 45 kW / 770 Nm). The 3000 TC is heavier (30,000 vs 24,000 kg).

03 What foundation does the CTX gamma 3000 TC require?

At 30,000 kg, it typically requires a reinforced concrete foundation with 300-500 mm depth and isolation from surrounding equipment vibration. Budget $20,000-$40,000 for foundation work.

04 Can the CTX gamma 3000 TC be automated?

Automation on this size class typically involves overhead gantry loaders or robotic cells rather than bar feeders. Most shops run this machine in attended or semi-attended mode with crane loading.
